Time Capsules Historical Markers

Time capsules preserve the salient features of history and can serve as valuable reminders of one generation for another. They can be found the world over and have been placed in the cornerstones of buildings, within parks, inside of monuments, and at historic sites. Usually, there is a commemorative plaque or sign to indicate the occasion of the placement, the date it was placed, the date to be opened, and the sponsoring organization.
